Stimulus:

If the public library was moved from Redville to Glenwood, then the library would be within walking distance of a larger number of users.
Because:
-More people live in Glenwood than Redville
-People only walk to the library if it's close to their home

Was stuck between A and B for this one. Can someone explain why it's not A and why the answer is B? Here's my attempt:

A) - Maybe relocating the library to Glenwood would put the library within reach of a whole new segment of the population, so the fact that more people who currently walk to the library live in Redville doesn't matter?

- This is literally a direct comparison of how many people would use the library in Redville vs. Greenville if it was located in their respective areas, so this is the correct answer?

Answer choice B is supported by one of the premises in the stimulus: if it were true that people generally walk to the library only if it is located close to their homes, then it is not necessarily true that relocating the library to G would make it so that a larger number of users would be within walking distance from the library since, as B states, "the # of people living in central G who would use the library is smaller than that of central R"

A.) More people who walk to the library currently live in R, but the argument states that the library will be within walking distance for even MORE users once it is moved to central G
